A Little Pill...

Just a quick little post to ask for any little  prayers, good vibes or positive juju you can spare.  I'm heading to Pittsburg tomorrow to be screened for the Kalydeco clinical trial.  I really want to get accepted for this trial.  Any number of things could make me ineligible, but I'm thinking positively. 



I have a few friends with my gene combo on Kalydeco and it has changed their lives!  I want to feel better, I want to breathe better, I want to cough less, I want to have more energy.  This pill has done it for them! 

I tried to see if my insurance would cover the Kalydeco off label for me, but they didn't like the $307,000 per year price tag.  So, I'm going to try to get on it by going the research route.  The other thing I'm hoping is that if I get accepted that I don't get placebo for the first 6 months. 

That's a lot of hopes and wishes for one post!
